Moda Cotton Scrap Bag — Mixed 100% Cotton Strips 1/2 lb, 2"–6" widths up to 17" long for Quilting & Patchwork

Moda Fabrics Scrap Bag is a mixed bundle of 100% cotton strips—mostly 2" to 6" wide and up to 17" long—sold by approximate half-pound for quilting, patchwork, and small sewing projects.

These Moda scrap bags are a convenient way to add variety to your sewing stash without committing to full yardage. Each bag contains an assortment of quilt- and fashion-weight cotton strips that vary in width and length; some strips include selvage edges. Contents are randomized, so you’ll receive a surprise mix of solids, prints, or a combination—perfect for colour studies, improv quilting, trim, and testing ideas before cutting larger pieces.

What sizes and fabrics come in a Moda scrap bag?

Most strips in the bag fall between 2 inches and 6 inches in width, with lengths that can go up to about 17 inches. All pieces are 100% cotton, suitable for quilting and light fashion uses, and packaged by Moda Fabrics. Because strips are precut, their sizes vary from bag to bag.

• Typical widths: mainly 2"–6" strips
• Lengths: vary, some up to 17"
• Fabric: 100% cotton, quilt and fashion weight
• Packaging: approximately 1/2 lb per bag

How can I use these strips in my projects?

The mixed strips are ready for immediate use in patchwork, small-scale quilting, appliqué, binding accents, and craft projects like fabric jewellery or mixed-media art. They’re excellent for testing colorways and creating scrappy blocks without cutting into yardage. Keep in mind strips with selvage may be included and can add visual interest or be removed depending on the project.

• Small quilts, table runners, and placemats
• Strippy blocks, string quilting, and improv piecing
• Binding, piping, and trim accents
• Fabric crafts: bows, brooches, or mixed-media pieces

Are there any care or preparation notes I should know?

These are precut cotton strips and are not recommended for machine laundering before use; washing can cause fraying or distort the strip dimensions. If you prefer pre-washed fabric, test-wash a scrap first or press strips before piecing. Selvage edges may appear on some strips—either incorporate them artistically or trim them away.

• Do not machine launder precuts prior to use
• Press gently to flatten before sewing
• Trim or use selvage edges according to design needs
• Expect random assortment—no content guarantees

What should I expect about colour and assortment?

Contents are randomized; a bag might contain mainly solids, mainly prints, or a mix of both. Moda does not guarantee specific colour counts, motifs, or repeats, so each bag is a surprise and a source of creative inspiration. If you need coordinated fabric for a particular pattern, these scrap bags are best for accent work and exploratory pieces rather than colour-critical whole projects.

• Random assortment: solids, prints, or mixed
• No promise of pattern repeats or exact colour matches
• Great for accents, tests, and scrappy techniques
• Approx. 1/2 pound of assorted strips per bag

Who is this for? The Moda Fabrics Scrap Bag is aimed at quilters, sewists, and craftmakers who enjoy scrappy designs, sample-making, or low-cost colour exploration. It’s ideal for students, hobbyists, and makers who want a ready-to-use selection of cotton strips for improvisational piecing, accents, or practice—anyone who appreciates variety and surprise in their fabric stash.
